Man on a Horse

Nadar is an Impressionism artist. 11 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

French photographer who made sharp, era-defining portraits in the 1850s–70s. You’ll meet Man on a Horse from the 1860s, a sitter caught mid-gallop against Parisian skies, and the 1856 portrait of composer Gioachino Antonio Rossini. Look inside the box where Nadar climbed to catch light on faces, then step into the 1856–58 Portrait of Baudelaire to feel the poet’s gaze.
